The Mountain that Reads

From Salem, Massachusetts, reader Annie Boyle writes, "You have great character names in your books, and it was very tempting to name this big, friendly, slightly clumsy feline we adopted about 6 months ago after Hodor. But I've frequently decided not to name anyone or anything after any person in your books until the series is completed and we know all the amazing and amazingly horrible things that might happen to or because of them."

That's probably a good idea, Annie.

"Anyway, here is a photo of our Chewbacca, checking out your material. Yes, that is a full-size hardcover copy of A Storm of Swords."

Chewbacca, eh? So you found a character with an even more limited vocabulary than Hodor!
